Hard Water Stain Removal Services Bakersfield, California

Hard water stains are formed when high mineral content water comes in contact with the glass surfaces. When the water evaporates it leaves behind all the hard minerals within the water, and creates difficult to remove hard water stains on the glass surface. This can be caused by sprinkler systems, water erosion from adjacent stone surfaces such as precast and dust that blows through the air. The hard water stain is the most difficult stain to remove especially when the mineral source contains silica. The silica bonds to the surface of the glass easily since most architectural glass is comprised of about 70% silica. This stain is the most difficult to remove because the pure silica in the stain is much harder than the glass surface which the hard water stain resides on. Removing the hard water stain without completely refinishing the glass with a product such as the Glass ReSurfacer Final Polish is near impossible.

Glass Stain & Scratch Protection Services Bakersfield, California

We use high performance glass protective treatments and or glass protection that can be applied to architectural window glass surfaces that will help to prevent the further development of glass stains as well as glass scratching. One such product called Glass Defender MD will install a rubberized, silicone protective coating, that will last on the surface of the glass for many years to come - helping to prevent stains and scratches. When stains such as minerals come in contact with the glass surface they will reside on the protective coating instead of easily adhering to the microscopic cracks and crevices of the glass surface. As well, this rubberized coating will resist scratching much better than unprotected glass because the surface at a microscopic level is flexible. We always recommend applying a glass stain and scratch protective treatment to newly restored glass especially in Bakersfield, California.

In 2002 glass restoration was performed on a property that was stained by sprinkler systems. As part of the procedure, a glass protective treatment was applied to the glass in order to prevent the stains from redeveloping. The property owners elected not to maintain the building, and the stains redeveloped. However, in 2006 when a new owner of the building called us to propose a solution to the problem at the building, we were able to easly remove the stains from the areas that were previously restored and treated. The picture to the right shows where the stains could be easily removed with a towel. Our glass protection process protects the glass from intense damage and yields easy cleaning for the future.
